Well I caught word of a new park being built.

[The Stig]

Your link isn't working for me.

If you're using photobucket, just copy the IMG code.

[IonZer0]

Is it fixed?

[HamenChiz]

Yes it is fixed, I request you to give us some side view shots of the lift to know if the drop is at the right angle.

The drop should be just about 97-100 degrees.

Make it a bit steeper than that. Just a bit.

Other than that it looks very good, the crest looks fine but strengthen the lift because the drop is connected to it, shaking could cause loss of precious speed.

REFERENCE PIC:

^ No offense, but please look again... That pictures show that it should be less steep. I suggest changing that white rod connecting the drop track to the tower (the one 1/5 gray rod down from the top) into a red one, and after that re-shape the drop again. Your shaping overall looks good, great job!

[IonZer0]

I think they fixed it.
P.S. ^Thanks, I looked at the Dutch Revolution thread today. WOW!

Lol, Thanks!

Looks good, exept for the chain. Are you sure it works? It's extremely far off the track...

[IonZer0]

Yeah, it works most of the time. I did have someting like JPcoaster's lift on Saber at the bottom with a rear chain dog, but it caused too many issues.

[big builder145]

To fix the chain problem I would move the lower gear closer, it really doesn't look to great with it dangling that far. Also I think you will need some more lateral supports. The tt motor looks like its going to tip the coaster over.

[colintaylor]

Just nitpicking here but towards the end of the hill, it looks a little straight. Maybe that's just me, but check on it. Other then that it looks fantastic!

[IonZer0]

^^I'll try to figure someting out.

^The pullout is not final. I'm working on it right now.

[colintaylor]

Oh, sounds good. Looks amazing. I'm jealous. Also (Again....nitpicking) the crest could be just a tad expanded. It looks a tinie tiny bit too sharp.

[Cedars650258516]

I would suggest connecting that one x-tie to the track part.

Also, is there going to be a raised pullout? It seems to start pulling out to early.

Good tho... If the car makes it with enough speed, put the gear at the bottom of the hill.


If you can look close enough, that's what I did on Eagle Eye.

[colintaylor]

^By the way:

^The pullout is not final. I'm working on it right now.

[HamenChiz]

I would suggest that you make the supports closer so that the track doesn't shake so much.

[IonZer0]

Well I built a horrible corkscrew, please don't hate me. In fact I'm going to fix it after this.

[alpal]

Actually, the shaping is pretty good, but the supports need fixing.

[HamenChiz]

If you really want a very smooth corkscrew,

I have one tip I always use on building coasters.

First build a corkscrew using box supports then change the supports to tube supports.

I hope I helped.
